Thread: Tip for newbies (like myself!) filing pins out...

Just one notice (totally my personal experience) when removing pins with 1/16" punch... some of scales has European (especially imported one in old days from Germany) size of hole which is not 1/16" but less. It is about 1,5 mm where 1/16" is 1.57mm. I have broke few scales before I figure out this one. I have grind down my 1/16" punch and now works great on everything :-)

This has been posted before, it works even better with one piece of tape right on top of the pin.
Electrical tape works great it is thick and protects the scales very well.
